Employes of Power Plant Can't Spare 24 Seconds of Time from Duty
MUST HAVE AN EXTRA MAN TO TOOT TOOTS
IS THERE A CONSPIRACY?
Rumor That Faculty Resents Rude Awakening at End of New 50- Minute Hour.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 20, 1912.
Just when it was thought that every thing was decided, and that the "tooot toots" would be on the job today, it was found that another employee would be required, said employee to be known as the "Official Tooter." Hense the usual toootless schedule.
A meeting was held Tuesday in the Chancellor's office, and immediately afterward Vice-Chancellor Carruth announced to one of his classes that he thought everything was settled and that today the whistle would announce itself, provided the Daily Kansan said so.
Here is a chance for some self-supporting engineer to work his way through school in the easiest possible way, a way requiring the least amount of time and labor of any job on the hill, and at the same time he can obtain some good practical experience.
Chancellor Strong says however that it will be at least one more day before anything can be done, since it will probably require some extra help, and this will have to be voted on by the Regents at their meeting today.
The total amount of energy thus required would be forty-eight foot-pounds.
It is estimated that it will require about six pounds of energy to pull the string that opens the valve of the "tooter." This must be done eight times every day, for a period of three seconds each.
The total time that this job would require would be twenty-four seconds.
It has been rumored that several prominent faculty members have objected to the new tooting system. They hold it an insinuation that their classes need the siren blast of a fog horn to wake them up.
“Besides, it is a pro's malleable right,” said one this morning, “to hold class as long as he wishes, when explaining needful topics.”
Debating Council Sets. Date State Recall of Judges the Question
MISSOURI ON APRIL 26
The date of the Kansas-Missouri debate in April 26. Kansas has the affirmative of the state recall of judges quetion. The debate will be at awrence this year. L The Kansas and Missouri debating councils have been trying to agree on a date for several weeks, and a decision was not reached in the matter until yesterday. The Kansas team for the Missouri debate is, Milton Minor, and Allen Wilber.
NO SPRING FEVER HERE
"The approach of spring has made the men in the gym classes more restless than ever," said Mr. Root this morning. The gym classes will have but four more weeks of indoor work. They are now working at fencing, basketball and athletic dancing. At the end of another week, they will be in crosstown running, soccer football and perhaps there will be a class in lacrosse.
Instead Warm Weather Makes Gyn Classes More Restless
The fact that the classes will take up the work in soccer football will probably bring to light some more new material for the game next fall. More and more interest is being taken in the game, according to the coach, Mr. Root.
Francis M. Veach, '11, is visiting at the Beta House.
MAY FORM ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGE MEN IN TOPEKA
Scott Hopkins, Regent Asked to Organize Club-Will Call Meeting at Commercial Club Rooms
“There are a large number of University and college men in Topeka,” said Mr. Scott Hopkins, regent of the University of Kansas, speaking of organizing an association of college men in Topeka last night, "and there is no reason why they should not be organized into a club. They could work to advantage for their own interests as well as those of the town."
In response to several letters received from alumni of various schools, asking him to head a movement to from an alumni association of college men at Topeka, Mr. Hopkins will call a meeting of all former University and college men of Topeka at the Commercial club rooms, in a short time.
It is the present plan to form the club in connection with the Commercial club, and to make the club's headquarters the temporary headquarters of the college men, although the membership of the two organizations will not be connected in any way. The eligibility of all new members will be determined only on the fact of their affiliation with an institution of higher learning.
PALETTE CLUB TO BE A NATIONAL SOCIETY
Plans Were Considered Last Night To Form Honorary Greek-letter Organization
At the regular meeting of the Palette Club yesterday afternoon, the regular program was put aside and plans for making the association a National Greek letter Society were considered.
The girls have taken up the matter with the Chancellor and Regents, and are assured of their hearty support in helping them make the club an honorary society of the School of Fine Art.
Communications have been received by the president of the club from Drake and Minnesota Universities, signifying their desire to have a National Greek letter organization as installed as an honorary society in their Fine Arts Department with a number of other Universities to have the club organized.
Only one thing remains, the securing of financial support and the guarantee of patronage, to make the Fine Arts department of the University of Kansas in the movement to form an honorary Greek letter art society in America.
The Palette club was organized here three years ago and now has twenty members, with Prof. W. A. Griffith and Miss Marie Benson as faculty members.

University Department of Snnday School Hears FormerHead of Baker U.
EXTOLS SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC
Says They Cause Laughter Which is Pleasing to Jesus Christ and Are Religious as Prayer-Meetings
Bishop W. A. Quayle spoke to two hundred guests, at the banquet given by the Methodist church to the University department of the Sunday school in Ecke's hall last night. At the end of a four-course dinner Mrs. J. R. Bechtel, superintendent of the University department of the Sunday school, introduced Bishop Quayle as toastmaster.
SELFISHNESS CANNOT BE ENJOYED
The theme of Bishop Quayle's
address was cosmopolitanism. He
said:
"As long as our 'cosmos is all ego we are unfit to enjoy the real, beautiful things of this world. When our range of vision leads us out from ourselves and life recerters, then it is worth while. But, as long as our 'cosmos is all ego' our hearts are as stone and we only see ourselves and even that very poorly. We must learn to se through the heart, then we can see out from ourselves on the road to the universe, where every large matter is."
Concerning our attitude toward life Bishop Quylead said:
Concerning our attitude toward life Bishop Quayle said:
"I greatly believe in youth and youthfulness. If I ever get so I do not enjoy a football game, or the giggling of young people, I want to be removed from this world, so that another, better person may live in my place. It is just as religious to go to a picnic as to go to prayer-mening. I do not care for people that are continually bawling, but laughter, I think, is pleasing to Jesus Christ."
LEAVES FOR KANSAS CITY
Immediately after his speech
Bishop Quayle left for Kansas City,
in order that he might be present at
the opening of the St. Louis Conference,
at the Grand Avenue Methodist church, this morning at 8 o'clock.
LEAVES FOR KANSAS CITY
A sure sign that spring is here, appeared last night in the way of the first serenade of the season.
SPRING MOVES SERENADERS
TO DO THEIR WORST
Four men with their musical instruments to accompany them and incidentally to drown out the discords that might creep into their voices on the harmonious strains of "Gindy" and others of the old standbys, went out to wake up the peacefully sleeping girls, and their neighbors. It was said that at one or two of the sorority houses a few of the sisters helped others up to assist them in applauding the valiant serenaders, and hold up their reputation for giving serenaders the best "hand."
From now on the girls will be awakened at least once, and maybe two or three times every night by the young men of the different fraternities who wish to do homage to their friends of "the more deadly of the species."
College athletes for women is gaining ground beyond more gymnasium and basketball feats. At Syrceuse a swimming association has been organized as well as a hockey team among the women. At the University of Washington fourteen Ws were awarded to women in competitive sports last fall, and a fencing match has been put on the intercollegiate schedule of the women of California and Leland Stanford.
The Presbyterian class of University men students entertained the young women's Sunday school class with a St. Patrick's party at the Westminster hall last Friday evening.

OUR OWN SOLDIER ROYS
TO THE WILDS OF MEXICO?
If they go, they will act as patrols on the border to keep arms from being sent into Mexico. Before now it has been the custom to send arms to merchants in Mexico, thereby evading the threats that threaten arms to the rebel forces. The Senate decided yesterday that no arms should be sent to any one.
It is rumored that the University K. N. G, will be called to Mexico the latter part of this month. Although nothing has been given out officially, there is a feeling in the guardenames of the diplomatic mobilization orders in the next few days.

COUNCIL APPROVES SUMMER BASEBALL
Recommends That Plank,
Sommers,and WalkerBeRe-
instated as Amateurs
EXPRESSES STUDENT OPINION
Men Who Can Make More at Baseball Than by Selling Books Should Play on Varsity Nine
The Student Council at its regular meeting last night, expressed the opinion of the student body in regard to the eligibility of Herbert Sommers, William Plank,and Fairfield Walker, in recommending that the white-wash brush be applied to these men, and that they be restored to amateur standing in University athletics.
All of these men admitted in their affidavits that they had played summer baseball for money, since they could make more in that manner than in any other way. The new Missouri Valley Conference ruling now provides however, that man who have played professional ball in the summer may be reinstated provided they have not played under the national commission.
The Student Council reasoned that these men are bona fide students, from their record here in the University, and that they are not here for the purpose of playing ball alone. Hence the Council feels just recommending that these men be admitted University athletics.
The Athletic Board of the University will pass upon these men next, and if they are successful in passing this board, their records will then be submitted to the Missouri Valley Conference. This body will pass upon the records of the men without knowing their names, whereby it is expected to avoid any partiality whatever on the part of the Board.
